Are you in a place where you feel like enough is enough? Navigating through life can be the hardest thing to do when everyday is a struggle. You probably tried to do it on your own so many times and now feel like you don’t know what else to do. Seeking help can indeed be scary but if you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life and be a better YOU! You're in the right place!

If you have been considering therapy but think it’s not for you, you are not alone. The therapeutic process can feel scary or oppressive, or we are taught that it is “not what we do in our family.” Maybe you need someone who has spent more than 12 years professionally working with adolescents and families of all ages, as a teacher and therapist. Or if you have an adolescent who is going through something you can’t seem to help them with, I am here for you as a parent, and your child.

Do you struggle with acting on your emotions and it has a significant impact later? Taking the first step into the therapeutic world is difficult. At times even holding the mirror to ourselves and really being honest that we need someone to talk to can be challenging. Do you feel it is hard to hold it together, seeking a work life balance, feelings of avoidance, or finding yourself unemotionally present? I would love to walk with you on this journey, providing a safe space. Fostering growth and vulnerability challenging you to work through your story or anything that is impacting your ability to show up as your best self!

Taking the first step to reach out to a therapist is no easy task and I want to help you recognize that you're doing something big by just looking at my profile to consider if we might be a good fit. Some areas that I'm especially passionate about are supporting those with loved ones with addictions, parents of children with special needs and those going through life transitions such as relationship changes, career changes and blended families.

The process of beginning therapy is so hard. In fact, getting started often keeps people stuck. I understand this and I strive to help with all stages of the therapy process. We will begin with a diagnostic evaluation that will allow you to share what has brought you into treatment, will allow me to collect all relevant information needed, and we will discuss the beginning stages of treatment. Then weekly or bi-weekly appointments will provide the support you need. You will find that I will check in with you, we will consistently assess progress, and we will shift the course of treatment as necessary to meet your needs
